ShitExpress's Bitcoin-for-Animal-Poop Service: The Motherboard Review

Shitexpress is the rare new startup that delivers what it promises—shit in a box.

The internet is full of new and exciting startups promising all manner of innovative solutions to our everyday problems. Unfortunately, many of these companies never manage to master the difficult engineering and/or manufacturing processes to turn their ideas into usable products.

So it is with great admiration that I present to you shitexpress.com, a company that both promises and, indeed, delivers literal poop to any address in the world.

That brings us to Shit Express, an unpretentious shit delivery service that will deliver poop anywhere in the world, with a personalized message, no questions asked. For the Bitcoin equivalent of €12.95 (.05 BTC at the moment), someone, presumably in Slovenia, will send horse shit (other animals are planned) in plain, cute, or ceremonial packaging.

Not one to opt for all the bells and whistles available to modern society, and without any true enemies at the moment, I decided to mail one (1) piece of horseshit to myself in one (1) plain package.

Today, just two weeks after I originally placed my order (no receipt!), said shit arrived as promised. It was declared at customs as a "Halloween Gag Gift," but really, it was more than that, to me at least. Its safe, timely, and as-advertised arrival renewed my faith in today's new crop of internet startups. And that's no joking matter.

I Will Open Anything is a semi-regular unboxing video in which I open things that are mailed to me.
